Is Suella trying to get the sack?

35 min • 9 november 2023

Suella Braverman is in trouble- again. It's almost like she invites it. 

This time she's written a piece for The Times which is being slammed as inflammatory.

She's compared the Gaza protests with The Troubles and suggested the police treat right-wing and left-wing protests by different standards, and strongly suggests this Saturday's should be banned.

She has called into question a very old principle, that of police independence from the government. To make it worse, it appears No.10 asked for changes to The Times piece, only for them to be ignored by Braverman's team.

On today's show, is Sunak finally about to sack his Home Secretary, and if not, why not?
